Training Log Archive: Edmund

Mum and dad rode on their bikes and I went in the trailer to running club today. I wasn't in the mood today though, I gave mum subtle signs like shouting "I NOT want to wear running shorts" and "I NOT need to wear sneakers" "No they are NOT red shoes" and "I NOT RUN!" but somehow I found myself on the start line anyway. It was lots of fun though, I looked at all the moss and the leaves and the trees and the sand and my muesli bar and my feet, and I really enjoyed walking. Dad and I took a bit of a short cut and mum ran the extra bit and then caught up with us again. We could tell when she had nearly caught us because the ground started shaking, and I ran a bit then.
Afterwards I sat in mum's lap for half an hour while dad ran, and then fell asleep in the trailer and then had a three hour nap at home.
And I did a series of huge, smelly, runny poos just in case mum had missed all the other subtle signs that I was not at my best today.
Next week I will miss running club because I am going to Perth to play with grandad's trains. He has a noisy James and TWO Thomases so it will be well worth the driving.
Oh and Aunty Jane and Ebby and Xavy and babyben came over this afternoon. My cousins got dad all excited with their crazed wrestling games and it took all afternoon for us to settle him down again, sigh.
